Discovery of a new family of relaxases in Firmicutes bacteria.

Antibiotic resistance is a serious global problem.Antibiotic resistance genes (ARG), which are widespread in environmental bacteria, can be transferred to pathogenic bacteria via horizontal gene transfer (HGT).Gut microbiomes are especially apt for the emergence and dissemination of ARG.Conjugation is the HGT route that is predominantly responsible

Synaptic behaviors of electromigrated Au nanogaps

Artificial electronic synapses or synaptic devices, which are capable of mimicking the functions of biological synapses in the human brain, are considered the basic building blocks for brain-inspired computing.Therefore, we investigated the emulation of synaptic functions in a simple Au nanogap.The synaptic functionality of neuromorphic hardware or
